Three Stars

Hunter Renfrow

When Derek Carr needed a big play, he leaned on the rookie wide receiver from Clemson, and Hunter Renfrow responded. Renfrow caught six passes for 54 yards in the game, including what would prove to be the game-winning touchdown.

Josh Jacobs

Josh Jacobs just may be the best running back in the NFL, and without him, there is no way the Raiders come away with this victory on Sunday. Jacobs rushed for over 100 yards in the game, which was impressive, but it was his ability to pick up huge first downs all game long that proved to be the difference in this one.

Matthew Stafford

Though the game did not end the way Matthew Stafford would have liked it to, the Detroit Lions signal-caller was every bit the franchise quarterback on Sunday. Stafford threw for over 400 yards against the Raiders secondary, as he had both Golladay and Jones Jr. go for over 100 yards. This could be the best season of his career.
